Those who spurn the Church of Jesus Christ Almighty and loudly proclaim their own personal salvation are unlikely to achieve it. Their arrogance distances themselves from Christ.

Wrong again. Those who spun JESUS CHRIST do not achieve salvation.

John 3:14-18 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

And here are Peter's words on the matter....

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

It's through Jesus Himself, alone.

Not through a church. Not through any other name, church included.

Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Scripture is enough to bring one to salvation where they become the body of Christ, the church regardless of the local assembly where they decide to worship.
